Oh, yes! I thought you were with the Biden administration or CNN. Now, I know it.
You are showing your ignorance.
Article 4 clearly states that *RUSSIA* and the parties will not place weapons in any other European state.
Maybe you don’t grasp the concept that Russia wants an agreement where they will not expand in Europe. How can that be Russian expansion?? I don’t get it. I don’t think you do either.
Article 4
The *RUSSIAN FEDERATION* and all the Parties that were member States of the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization as of 27 May 1997, respectively, shall not
deploy military forces and weaponry on the territory of any of the other States in
Europe in addition to the forces stationed on that territory as of 27 May 1997.
With the consent of all the Parties such deployments can take place in
exceptional cases to eliminate a threat to security of one or more Parties.
Russia’s 12/10/2022 letter restricts Russia in no way whatsoever. It restricts NATO.
But nice try on the propaganda spin....fail.
